PhD position in Electrochemical Energy Storage and Conversion
Our group studies fundamental processes in solutions, materials, and at the electrode-electrolyte interfaces using a combination of various in-situ and ex-situ characterization techniques coupled with detailed electrochemical studies. We then apply this fundamental knowledge to the design of new battery materials, electrocatalysts, and electrolytes that can deliver improved performance (i.e., charging times, energy, capacity, cycling stability), cost, efficiency, and safety.
Job description
This full-time position offers students an excellent opportunity to delve into energy science and gain deep fundamental knowledge about electrochemical processes. You will join an inclusive, diverse, and supportive working environment that praises scientific curiosity and creativity. The tentative starting date is January 2023 or later.
Your profile
You should have a recent Master’s degree (or be close to its completion) in Chemistry, Material Science, or closely related disciplines from an internationally recognized university. We are looking for individuals who are highly motivated, creative, and excited to work in interdisciplinary teams. Although we welcome candidates with diverse backgrounds, having prior experience in:
- catalysis and/or electrochemistry or
- synchrotron techniques and/or other in-situ characterization techniques are a plus.
We offer
ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive offers and benefits.
